    Colchester Smack scratch build [COMPLETED BUILD]

    I have not posted for some time but I am pleased now with progress. Much of the paintwork done and now building the spars. Had some difficulty finding doweling of the right proportions. Solution came in the shape of an old child's fishing rod; cut that up, just the job. Don't worry the child...

    Since a few of the members here are trying their hand at making a decent model out of the cheap Chinese Halcon or Harvey Baltimore sloops, and since I had a Halcon kit sitting around for a year of so, I started a speed build of it with bashing limited to deadeye, cannon, and blocks replacements...

    Santa Maria 1/75, Heller [COMPLETED BUILD]

    As it was said, the time had come to complete Columbus' fleet and add the missing ship to it. As is often the case with Heller, the sight of frames with elements does not raise any major objections until we take a closer look at them... The plastic sails need to be replaced with ones made of...

    Zvezda Black Pearl 1/72

    There are some very nice Black Pearls in this forum and I'd like to share my rendition of this build. I don't know if this was a Revell to Zvezda or visa-versa, but all in all it was a nice kit that kept me busy. Some modifications were made to the staircase, Captain's cabin doorway, helm...
